I see you start this service at sequence "99". This is good, but there are other 99-level startup scripts as well. These are processed in alphabetical order. Do this:
$ ls /etc/rd5d.d/S99*
So, "dbora" will run even before rc.local and that may not be a good thing.
Also, checking:
$ ls /etc/rc5.d/K* | head -n15
will show you the order in which services are shut down, again in alphabetical order.
These steps may help:
# /sbin/chkconfig dbora off
# /sbin/service dbora stop
# cd /etc/init.d/
# /sbin/chkconfig --del dbora
# mv dbora xxx-dbora
# vi xxx-dbora
# /sbin/chkconfig --add xxx-dbora
# /sbin/chkconfig xxx-dbora on
# /sbin/service xxx-dbora start
What we are doing is:
1) Remove existing dbora service
2) Rename the service to something that shows last in an ls(1) command
3) Edit the xxx-dbora script to change the chkconfig info from "99 10" to "99 01"
4) Installed the service.
Now, the start-up is done as the very last action and shutdown as the very first.
Does this make any difference?
